Trump Isn't Just 'Different'

Amid the concern of top Republican leaders and strategists over Donald Trump being their party's nominee, I have seen little written or talked about that shows an understanding of what appears to be his multiple personality disorders, a very serious matter. For this reason, I was relieved to read Bill Press' Aug. 6 column, "Is Donald Trump Mentally Unstable?"

Why has it taken so long for people to realize that this narcissistic, denigrating, self-absorbed person isn't just a "different" kind of candidate, as Paul Ryan has called him. His need for the spotlight, his inability to stand criticism, his lack of empathy, his constant boasting and his disregard for truth are just some of the indicators of a person unfit for the presidency. Add to that his underlying anger and innate reflex to lash out, and you've got a volatile mix.

He's not just different. He's not just Trump being Trump. He's frightening. Reading from a teleprompper won't change who he is. It's nightmarish to think of him in the Oval Office.
